Weekly Flylady Thread 14th February 2022

Mademoiselle

Late in from me.  But I have been for my mammogram and then had a wander around the shops.

It was windy here last night too, and the worst is to come on Friday.  I must admit I did appreciate not getting up this morning with the first question being 'how many more tiles have come off the barn roof', we had it reroofed last year at great expense.  

Sorry about the goat Dizzy, and the last minute catering.

Bed made, clothes picked up
Banking and spreadsheets checked
DW on

Better get lunch sorted then I will tackle the washing and ironing this afternoon

WMs emptied and reloaded.
Airer emptied and reloaded
heavy stuff out in the wild wind

DW emptied and refilled

Cat bowls soaking and cats all fed.. we have many bowls!

OH folding bedsheets because his arms are longer than mine.. and why shouldn't he.

I am going to clear some more clothes in the bedroom and see if I can dig out a chest of drawers or 2 so we can actually put away these clean and folded clothes..

I want to list a few more items to sell if I can summon the energy.

I have a parcel to post and prescriptions to pick up too.

Home from a lovely long dog walk and stuff posted at PO. I’ve just lit the fire which the dog will be thrilled about as she’s wet, filthy and shivering bless her - she wanted to jump in the river! 

I have some chicken thighs in the slow cooker which will form the basis of tonight’s tea, somehow. Bank balance checked and budget spreadsheet updated.

Hello all.  Hugs for Dizzy and anyone else who needs them.

First work shift done and breakfast dishes washed.  I'm going to hoover through next then walk the dogs after lunch.  Another work shift later then a council meeting which will finish really late.
Stay safe everyone.

Sounds like Dot when we take her out!

OH in meltdown again.. seriously.. I hate this.. every new job.. I've seen the chart of everyones stats and he is doing ok.. better than some he is just slow at writing up notes.. BUT he has had a few times where he has been writing notes and a manager has called him bumping up that time.. not a criticism of them but I don't think they are taking that into account.

Squeak bossed to get lunch.. I'm going to find something for OH to eat while writing notes since he barfed his breakfast.. and I need to get squeak settled in her lesson and trot off to chemist/post office/bread buying..

Dizzy sorry for the loss of your goat, the storm here was vicious overnight with the winds, so goodness know what it was like for side of the country.

Been shopping, put it all away.

Lunch eaten, fruit.

OH sent off to his guitar lesson

Cat 2 bringing in leaves, and 2 air packing pillow packs...............!

Might go fossil hunting, however the wind is getting again.

I'm back, and in a better mood, although one of the dogs just nicked my bowl of honeydew melon chunks off the side, so that was annoying...

I've had a sleep, which always helps and while I was snoozing the sun came out, which means the pumps haven't had to cope with ground water AND rain, so my DW and WM finished their cycles and I've reloaded them both.  I will have this pit clear!

A friend has just messaged me to say all the schools are closed tomorrow,  due to the predicted high winds, which is just fabulous...

I need a small ragey offload.. sorry... feel free to ignore, skip or pop and slap me....

I am DONE!!!

Today I am filled with hate..

I hate home educating, I hate school runs, I hate meal times and bed times and mornings... I hate EHCP's and schools and disabilities and everything allegedly 'normal'. . I hate all the red tape and above all I hate 'photo Id' ..

Oh.. and drs surgeries I hate those too... We need appointments and they are just refusing day and after day after day.. I am at the point where if I didn't wake up in the morning I wouldn't really mind.

I am merely fed up of my old cat and her poor toilet habits.. and I need house repairs I can't afford and all the usual taken for granted and unappreciated stuff we all feel, is just building up right now.

 I have 2 not sleeping (Dot and Twinkle).. but of course they do sleep just not at the same time and spend 5 hours screaming and being vile. 1 not eating (Dot) and OH's new job which is good but I am having to do all the school pick ups and I just physically cannot do it with the pain I am in. We have a car with blue badge sat outside the house which I cannot drive, so I have to risk smalls life walking her home with the littlest crying.. so I wear my sunglasses in the rain and cry all the way to school and back with my 5 year old crying her legs hurt too 'but not as much as yours mummy' I had to stop 4 or 5 times yesterday.. I just can't do this.

I'm not even depressed, I am simply sick of everything being so bloody hard.. I am angry and I am tired, body and mind tired, I run on pain medication and caffeine.. thank the good lord for caffeine!!.. I even shouted at my very sweet Squeak this afternoon and threatened with he horrible high school.. so I feel mean and horrible as well now. One more day.... (to half term)... tomorrow will be better...
ok.. I'm finished whining..

I have sorted 2 baskets of everyone elses gibble in my room.. and thrown dinner for OH and DS2 in the SC.. no one else will eat it so I still have to cook for them.. ok.. now I've finished whining.. lol

Squeak is working through some maths and I am waiting for the double dose of medication so I can do the school run.

My christmas decs are still up...

Dizzy_Imp

Oh Piggers .....massive hugs because I have no words that will make things better....

PS my Christmas decorations are still in the middle room as I only untangled the tree lights from their pile yesterday....meh, I might just leave the boxes there until December...

Piggers - will comment properly later but for now have a hug from me - I know you don’t do hugs but have one anyone. 

Just realised whilst seeing to hens we’ve lost LOADS of roof slates, I hadn’t realised... FML I’ll be eBaying my kidneys at this rate...
